Easter HistoryEaster celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. It is an observance associated with deep spiritual reflection and joy. From Palm Sunday, marking the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem, to the solemn Good Friday, commemorating his crucifixion, to the jubilant Easter Sunday, celebrating his resurrection, the Easter period recounts the core of the Christian faith. It serves as a reminder of Jesu's sacrificial love, demonstrated through his overcoming of death, offering hope and redemption to believers. Historically, the observance of Easter is said to have commenced after the ascension of Jesus Christ. In India, a country witness to a wide spectrum of religions, Christianity, although a minority, has significant representation. The narrative of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection speaks omnipotently across cultural and religious boundaries, symbolizing goodwill, forgiveness, rebirth, and renewal. Easter's universal themes resonate with people amid India's religious diversity in a deeply profound way. In India, Easter observances vary among regional Christian communities, colored by the unique cultural fabric of the country. Churches are adorned with flowers, and special services and processions are conducted. A prominent feature in some regions includes the re-enactment of Christ's path to crucifixion, 'The Way of the Cross.' In states like Kerala and Goa, where Christian communities are substantial, Easter is observed with exceptional enthusiasm. Sharing 'Easter Eggs,' symbolizing resurrection, and festive meals are common practices. Easter typically falls on the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, a system adopted globally, including India. However, some Orthodox Christian communities in India may have different dates based on the Julian Calendar. Facts about Easter
